In response to comment #22- AuthorHouse is a SELF PUBLISHING
COMPANY. They do not help authors improve their manuscript. They do
not market the book. It's a publishing company for people who feel
like actually doing the leg-work to make their book a success. So,
in other words, if you're looking to partake in a get-rich-quick
scheme and think "hmm, self publishing, that'll be easy" and slop
together some awful children's book, thinking the public won't know
the difference between a good children's book and garbage, then
yeah. You'll hate AuthorHouse. If you've spent more than a month
writing something you're proud of that can appeal to the public,
know anything about marketing and can actually invest your time and
money into marketing it, then you'll love this self-publishing
company.
People just expect the publisher to carry them through the process
and hold their hands until their book is a best seller. Some
traditional publishers do. AuthorHouse doesn't. If you're not
serious about actually devoting yourself to a quality book and to
marketing, then do not choose a SELF PUBLISHING company.
